evolving tunes.

it's funny how songs can mean one thing to you one day, and the next, it gives you a whole new meaning to it - just like people.

lyrics you hear may often relate to yourself, your current mood, your current point in life. as time goes on, whilst these lyrics remain the same, there is a difference sense to it. the meaning that is conveyed. whether the words synonymously remind you of someone else, or represent something new that is similar and replaced what was there before, meanings change constantly; both connotations and denotations. sometimes, these words just fade; and everything it stood for just dissipates.

the melody you hear may be music to your ears one day, but a complete racket the next. the tempo, pitch and rhythm all add to the mood - more poppy fast catchy tunes for moments of happiness, with slower more stripped back ballads to represent something sad.

most people constantly update their playlists and by doing so, old songs, what they represent and just the presence of them eventually fade out and disappear. recently i've been listening to more old school songs on my ipod. old songs, which i found sent quite a significant message to myself, old songs which represented certain people and particular memories - whether good or bad. as i listen to them, the meaning of each song has evolved. whilst i try to bring myself to the frame of mind of where they used to be, for some, it's simply too hard. with some, there is regret, with others, it's free, with some, there's a sense of yearning.
